So much talk about "expanding the footprint"...but the MAC is a very much a midwestern-based U.S. league, and when we think of expanding to me it makes more sense to push out the "footprint" to adjoining states (aka WKU although we missed the "boat" there, etc.), not in geographies where no one has ever heard of the MAC and have interest in watching their schools play our teams. I just don't see these "east coast" scenarios being of mutual benefit in the long run.....

Lts say UMASS decides they are not all in so they leave. Keep MAC at 12, stability is our greatest asset. Important to keep members in the MAC not looking for greener pastures, build off last season fb success. Continue to enhance athletic venues and keeping winning in OOC. This is what I would like to see
